*-------------------------------------------------------------------------------*
GammaTech Utilities for OS/2 perform functions which enhance and complement
your OS/2 workstation. GammaTech Utilities for OS/2 provide the ability to
perform volume recovery, optimization and essential maintenance operations
easily without extensive technical knowledge.
The utilities support High Performance File System (HPFS) and File Allocation
Table (FAT) formats. GammaTech Utilities operate in the Presentation Manager
(graphic) mode and in the Command Line (text) mode. GammaTech installs
quickly and easily using the graphic installation program.
GammaTech Utilities supports all HPFS versions, including the HPFS versions
2.3, 2.4 and HPFS386. Additional support has been added for the IBM LAN
Server 4.0 HPFS386 enhancements and for HPFS volumes greater than 2 Gigabytes.
The utilities are programmed in 32 bit code to take advantage of multi-tasking
capabilities and virtual memory addressing which creates superior performance
with enhanced resource efficiency. All the Utility features support the OS/2
long file names and extended attributes.
ANALYZE
Provides information on volume capacity, drive specifications, available
memory, free sectors, bad sectors, hot fixed and hot fixes in use, total
cylinders, free space extents and free space, volume label, total sectors,
percent in use, and sector size.
BEEP
Allows you to specify sound. Options to specify frequency and duration of one
or more beeps. You may also specify a file containing a list of
frequency/duration pairs which will play musical tunes.
DISKMAP
This utility provides a graphical display of the layout of FAT or HPFS
volumes. The DiskMap's color coded display identifies system areas, file
areas, bad sectors and free space.
FATOPT
The FAT Optimizer utility defragments FAT volumes under OS/2, maintaining
important extended attributes (EA) associations that may be lost by using a
DOS based optimization utility. You can view the optimization process
graphically, sector by sector, as t he optimizer is working. In addition to
defragmentation, FATOpt cleans up directory structures, optimizes free space
on the volume and allows the user to specify parameter optimization to proceed
if fragmentation exceeds a certain level. The user can a lso specify
optimization of the EA_DATA._SF file. A command line version is included for
offline optimization.
FATSORT
The FATSort utility sorts FAT file system directories by name, file extension,
datestamp or filesize.
FILES UTILITY
Provides file maintenance. Extensive file selection criteria permit delete,
move, copy, set or alter time stamps and attributes functions on multiple
files. An option is included to bypass OS/2 Undelete processing. Using the
Wipe Files function ensures sensitive data can not be recovered.
FILEREC
Recovers damaged FAT files, replacing bad sectors. The data in the sector is
lost, but the space is reserved and the user may be able to reconstruct the
sectors manually.
FILEJOIN
Provides a method of rejoining multiple floppies separated in the recovery
process. Allows rejoining a file separated into multiple floppies during
recovery.
GTDISK
A suite of six utilities in a text mode shell, which allows you to perform
recovery operations from a floppy or hard drive
> BADSECTR
Marks bad sectors on a disk.
> UNDELETE
Undeletes files when the Presentation Manager is unavailable.
> DIRTY
Toggles the dirty flag on and off to allow access to a 'dirty'
volume. The dirty flag tells OS/2 that the volume may need clean up
action. Normally this is done by running CHKDSK or AUTOCHECK.
> HPFS RECOVER
Recovers files from a damaged HPFS volume. Low sector corruption of
an HPFS volume will result in total data loss; this utility locates
files on the HPFS volume without the need to access the
low sector structures, allowing recovery of most files on the volume.
> PARTITION FIXUP
recreates a usable logical boot sector on a partition which has been
deleted or redefined.
> BOOT SECTOR BACKUP/RESTORE
Backs up the boot sectors of all physical and logical disks.
HEXDUMP
Permits the user to convert binary files to ASCII readable text, which can
then be viewed or edited by any standard text editor and converted back to
binary format.
HPFSOPT
Optimizes HPFS formats, defragmenting files and maximizing free space.
Individual files may be selected for optimization based on file size limits.
Optimization may be performed automatically at specified intervals. LD List
Directory Utility is an enhanced DIR command. You may sort using LD.
Additionally, you may add comments to your files.
MKPATH
Make Directory Path creates a multi-level path with one command.
REBOOT
Equivalent to performing a Ctrl+ALT+Delete key sequence. Additionally,
options to shut down the Presentation Manager applications and to request the
settings be saved prior to reboot are available.
SEDIT
The SEdit utility allows the user to view formatted displays of hex data for
file structures, including the boot sector, HPFS Super and Spare Blocks, FAT
file allocation tables and the partition table. The sector editor also
enables the user read or write multiple sectors from external files.
SENTRY
Monitors boot sectors, locks files, and backs up the Desktop and OS/2.INI and
OS2SYS.INI files at specified intervals.
SYSINFO
General system information, hardware information, and Presentation Manager
information.
UNDELETE
Scans HPFS or FAT partitions for recoverable files. You may combine the
capabilities of both the OS/2 and GammaTech Undelete features.
WHERE
Locates files on hard drives. It functions on HPFS or FAT volumes and
supports long file names. Hidden and system files are included in the search.
WIPEFREE
The WipeFree utility allows wiping of all freespace. The option to perform
secure wiping in conformance with the U.S. Department of Defense
specifications is included. An option to erase freespace on volumes which
have been fast formatted is included.
